Fondazione Nicola Del Roscio opens on Friday, March 20, an exhibition by artist Danh Vo, one of the most influential voices in contemporary art. The project, born from an idea by Diego Cassina, brings the artist into dialogue with Nicola Del Roscio, president of the Foundation, based on a shared interest in the plant world.
Vo's practice, which includes installations, sculptures, and site-specific interventions, intertwines personal and collective history. In recent years, the artist has increasingly integrated plants into his projects, considering them not as simple decorative elements but as living presences imbued with memory, culture, and social meaning.
This approach resonates with the vision of Nicola Del Roscio, who for years has cultivated a deep connection with botany and has created a botanical park in Gaeta known for its collection of palm trees from around the world.
The exhibition thus arises from an affinity between art and botany, offering the public a reflection on the relationship between nature, memory, and responsibility towards the natural world.
